Abstract: The current peak detector can be described as four separate sections. The first section is power dis­tribution (42). The second is the analog section (30, 30′) where the Idd current transient peak is first detected. There are two analog sections, one for Idd internal, and another for Idd external. The third section is the automatic multiplexer (34) that con­trols which of two analog sections (30, 30′) will drive a digital section (36). The fourth and final section is the digital section (36) where a voltage that is analogous to the peak current is converted to a DC voltage level with infinite memory. The digital section (36) performs the logic function of replacing any prior digitized voltage peak with any higher voltage peak that may occur during the test period.

Abstract: A system within an implantable stimulation device and a method for limiting the extent to which any high power consumption modes, such as a rate response mode, can be utilized during low battery periods. A battery threshold detector is utilized to detect when the battery is below a predetermined threshold. The implantable stimulation device then switches from a high current drain mode of operation to progressively lower current drain modes of operation. This configuration allows a significant reduction in current drain at RRT and further prevents the output amplitude from dropping below the capture level and prevents the remaining battery capacity from being rapidly used up.

Abstract: Apparatus for installing cables with a certain stiffness, more in particular glass fibre cables, into a duct (6, 24) of a channelization system, using the working of a compressed gas, which apparatus is adapted to exert pushing forces on a cable (26) being introduced in order to support the compressed gas working on the cable in the duct. The apparatus comprises cable advancing means and gas inserting means. The cable advancing means include a hollow, substantially rectilinear cable lead-through channel (3) with an entrance end (4) and an exit end (5), at least one pair of wheels (8, 10; 9, 11) mounted opposite to each other for moving on a cable (26) disposed between these wheels into the direction of the outlet end (21) of the duct (6), and a pneumatic motor (15) coupled to at least one of said wheels for providing a driving couple to it. At least one of the wheels is coupled to a pneumatic piston/cylinder combination (13, 14), in such a way that when compressed gas is supplied to the pneumatic cylinder (14), transverse forces will be exerted on the cable (26) disposed between the wheels (8, 10; 9, 11). The gas inserting means include a gas channel (7), which debouches into the cable lead-through channel (3) and which is adapted for inserting compressed gas into the lead-through channel (3) between the wheels and the exit end (5) of the lead-through channel (3). The motor (15) is capable of providing a driving couple, which is larger than the driving couple, which has to act on the cable (26) to compensate a pressure difference existing at the inlet end of the duct between the pressure inside and the pressure outside the cable lead-through channel (3) as a consequence of inserting the compressed   gas via the gas channel (7) into the cable lead-­through channel (3). The pushing forces are exerted by the wheels on the cable (26) as a consequence of the cooperative effect of the driving couple and the transverse forces. The gas channel (7), the pneumatic motor (15) and the piston/cylinder combination may be coupled to the same compressor. For use in a tandem arrangement the apparatus comprises further a coupling unit (18) to be coupled to an outlet end (21) of a preceding duct section (24), and which includes a mainly hollow housing (19), an outlet pipe (23) for diverting a flow of gas, which may leave the outlet end (21) of the duct section (24), and an outlet opening (22) through which a cable may be led into the direction of the entrance end (4) of the cable lead-through channel (3). 
Advantages: the exerted transverse forces are very acurately adjustable and substantially constant; the apparatus is non-destructive to the cable when cable introduction is slowing down or stagnates; in a tandem arrangement the apparatus needs hardly any human interference and is safe for the operating staff.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting an object of interest against a cluttered background scene. In a first preferred embodiment the sensor tracking the scene is movable on a platform such that each frame of the video representation of the scene is aligned, i.e., appears at the same place in sensor coordinates. A current video frame of the scene is stored in a first frame storage device (14) and a previous video frame of the scene is stored in a second frame storage device (20). The frames are then subtracted by means of an invertor (24) and a frame adder (28) to remove most of the background clutter. The subtracted image is put through a first leakage reducing filter, preferably a minimum difference processor filter (32). The current video frame in the first frame storage device (14) is put through a second leakage-reducing filter, preferably minimum difference processor filter (36). The outputs of the two processors are applied to a two quadrant multiplier (42) to minimize the remaining background clutter leakage and to isolate the moving object of interest. In a second preferred embodiment the sensor does not track the scene and therefore the frames of video from the two storage devices (140, 200) must be aligned before the subtraction process can occur. The alignment function is performed by a background registration correlator (150) and a frame shifter (130). Once the two frames of video data are aligned they are then subtracted and preferably applied to the minimum difference processor filters (320, 360) as with the first embodiment. The outputs of the two minimum difference processors (320, 360) are again applied to a two quadrant multiplier (420) to eliminate the remaining background clutter.

Abstract: An improved MOS transistor construction utilizes a polysilicon gate covered by silicide and silicide covered, self-aligned source and drain regions separated from the gate polysilicon by thin silicon dioxide spacers. No contact windows are formed within the perimeter of the isolation island. This allows for very small geometries. Electrical contact to the source and drain regions is provided by a conductive pattern formed in a layer of refractory metal which is in electrical contact with the source, drain and gate silicide and which extends over the field oxide to contact pad positions outside the isolation islands of the transistors. The contact pads located outside the isolation islands support post type vias or contact windows. The posts can be formed of different heights so that electrical contact by first and second metal layers to the source, gate and drain regions of the device can be made with the first and second metal layers separated by intermetal insulation. 
     A process is disclosed for making high performance bipolar and high performance MOS devices on the same integrated circuit die which comprises forming isolation islands of epitaxial silicon surrounded by field oxide and forming MOS transistors having polysilicon gates in some islands and forming bipolar transistors having polysilicon emitters in other islands. Insulating spacers are then formed around the edges of the polysilicon electrodes by anisotropically etching a layer of insulation material. A layer of refractory metal is then deposited and heat treated at a temperature high enough to form silicide over the tops of the polysilicon electrodes and on top of the bases, sources and drains. Regions of this refractory metal are then masked off such that the electrical contact with the silicide is preserved and so that the refractory metal extends to a contact pad position external to the isolation island. Metal posts can be formed at the contact pad positions and a layer of planarized insulation material is formed so as to leave only the tops of the posts exposed. A layer of metal can then be deposited and etched to make electrical contact with tops of the posts. 
     There is also disclosed a dynamic RAM cell using an MOS transistor and a CMOS static RAM cell comprising six MOS transistors having source, drain and gate electrodes which are smaller than the smallest contact window which can be made by the process which was used to make the transistor.

Abstract: A method for entry and recognition of elements from a set of symbols, involving a template of line segments displayed on an electronic writing surface (12). A stylus (13) is applied to the electronic writing surface so as to trace a desired symbol. Computing means are used to "snap" the strokes made by the stylus onto the corresponding template line segments. Upon completion of a symbol, a code is made to represent the line segments and this code is used to reference entries in a data structure to identify the appropriate corresponding computer code. If there is no match, the code for the line segments and a corresponding set of computer codes can be added to the table. This method takes advantage of natural handwriting skills and can be used for a variety of symbol sets.
